but for a while fat people can loose a little extra weight to start with. for instance loosing 4-10 pounds in a week for a few weeks isn't going to hurt you but don't continue to loose so much tooooo soon.

first of all how much do you weigh

I bought a body media arm band and I know in 24 hour period including sleep,job ,exercise,etc I burned most of the time 2500-2800 each day. I try to keep my cals 1200-1600. Some days I may go over and under. been loosing weight since july 22 and already lost a slow but steady loss of 15-17 pounds plus inches.

not knowing anything as far as how active you are :job,kids,school,etc how many calories a day do you exercise? As long as you get atleast 500-1000 deficit each day. do you eat white bread,white rice,white tortillas,white potatoes: basically any kind of white carb try getting rid of for a few months. Try something like…

Ive heard cardio and lots of it can burn fat. But in the mean time try strenth training.

so to answer this question ? I go by all.

I posted this on several threads that were related this same topic. I measure inches every few weeks but pounds daily. Ok I started taking measurements on 8/14/2012 through 9/20/2012 for 5 weeks. here are my stats: height :5'2 (62 inches tall) age: 35 I used this site http://www.linear-software.com/online.html scrolled all…

if you are use to not doing anything extra and you add anything etra it should help.

If you have ever watched biggest loser even bob harper will say they let their contestants have atleast 1 cheat day a week because sometimes your body gets so use to eating the healthy stuff that you body just needs the extra calories. The way I see it. If I am trying to make a lifestyle change its going to take me a…

the only bad thing about bananas is constipation lol. I know that all to well-sorry TMI.

dont stress. At the end of the week you will realize it didn't really count as much. Just work harder on the next few days following the big eat days. Just don't eat as much at the buffets/ or pizza places.

ive even heard jillian micheals say don't exercise on empty stomach but she didn't say except bananas lol.

ive never heard that before and I do it all the time.

lets me concentrate more on my eating.

I have bodymedia -same concept as fitbit. I actually considered fitbit before bodymedia but I went with bodymedia because i found on ebay for cheap. Reguardless of which one. I did find that wearing mine I would forget at times i had it on. I have realized at work that I do burn alot of cals like more then 1000 cals at…

stopped drinkig sodas (day 46) or no tea of any kind. Try to drink more water. Exercise now 6 days a week for about 1 hour. Compared to no exercise. Don't add sugar,milk or butter to my oatmeal. No added salt to anything. Eating more fruits and veggies. These small things have made all the difference.

sure

personally I wouldn't log the exercise because MFP from what Ive used and heard others say some of the numbers aren't accurate. I know that in a 24 hr period I burn about 2500-2800 generally on work days and exercise days. I have bodymedia and it figures out how many steps I take ,how many calories I burn while exercsing…

would think that would be just the opposite LOL. that behind closed doors not as honest.

That is a great way of putting it- if you don't use the forum but the app only.

When I am reading in the threads about someone saying they are having a hard time with loosing weight -I see other people suggest them open their diaries.If the person is asking a particular question about something what am I doing wrong by all means others want to be supportive and look at the food content to make…

some people may not realize there diary is closed. I have been a member since March 2011 and wasn't til last night that I realized my diary was closed. But no one has ever asked to view mine either.

I read on here many times and also hard Bob Harper talk about drinking your calories. I use to drink lots of sweet tea and sodas and sometime only eat 2 big meals. Now I am eating more sensible ,no sodas or no tea and I do drink slim fast atleast one meal- most of time. But I try to stay 1200-1600 cals a day. I find that…

I agree with everyone else it doesn't matter what day you record it on. I work the 2nd shift and its 125 am here now and if I decide I wanted to eat something now then I would record it for sunday 9/23 since its already after midnight. as long as you know that those calories from that food you add too the next day needs to…

day 45 no sodas and 40 of no TEA and its hard but easier then you think. I THINK I would like one but say nope water is better.

also working out about 1 hr a day 6 days a week. eating 1200-1600 cals.

i posted this on another thread but I only had one person respond to it: Just to show you how much you can accomplish in about 2 months pounds vs inches about body. Here is my numbers Ok I started taking measurements on 8/14/2012 through 9/20/2012 for 5 weeks. here are my stats: height :5'2 (62 inches tall) age: 35 I used…

You might want to consider using a ticker of some sort such as how much youve lost already- That might help you see the bigger picture to not want tooooooooooooooo many tempatations.

yep been there done that. Just tell them straight out. You have to have the will to live without it or eat less of it. Its ok to have it every once in while but eventually you may give up on it all together. Example last week at work they were having some kind of chocolate party for our residents ,the staff that was…

Yes I know the feeling. I started weightloss journey on July 22 and august 4 started working out at gym immediately started slimming down and clothes become much looser. It really hasn't been until this month of September that I have really started loosing the pounds. I have lost between 15-17 pounds since July 25th. It…
